Dear Pony Pals

This week Pam asked -- why don't more members use our forum to send w-mails and cards to other members? I said I wasn't sure, so she said I should hold a contest. I said okay.

This week we did a bunch of cleanup and made lots of new quests. If you complete every quest, you will earn several hundred bucks and this week's scavenger hunt's most expensive item will be free!

Last week, we had almost 20 pals join our online virtual riding lesson. Our new virtual lessons are each Tuesday, from 6:30 to 7:30 Eastern Time. This week's lesson will focus on tips for gymkhana riding. Lessons are held in the live moderated chat. This is a great way to work on mentally visualizing your riding -- and they are lots of fun, too!

Nickie386 & Clover

This is my cat, Chaos. Chaos is a mixed breed. Alls I have to say is that his name fits him perfectly!

This is my herd of horses! The gray one in the front is the leader. His name is Storm. Storm has been my dream horse for four years now.  

This is my favorite 'Breyer' horse barn. This is where I keep some of my 'Breyer' horses. This is not all of them.  

This is the other half of my 'Breyer' horse barn! It's a very big paddock!

Pony Pal Thoughts for the Day

Time for the weather report. It's cold out folks. Bonecrushing cold. The kind of cold which will wrench the spirit out of a young woman, or forge it into steel.
~ Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure 1992

_____________

Weather forecast for tonight: dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning. ~ George Carlin, 1937-2008

_______________

Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity, and in cold weather becomes frozen, even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind.
~ Leonardo da Vinci 1452-1519
